Netflix is reportedly eyeing the broadcast rights for formula 1 in the United States, a move that could significantly impact the sport. With its vast financial resources, the streaming giant could shake up F1’s media landscape. If Netflix does indeed manage to secure the rights in the US, it could signal the start of a global expansion—something that should put current rights holders on alert.

After all, Netflix is not the party that would want to limit itself to just the US market. Obtaining F1 rights in the US, then, is surely the prelude to a global deal.

Almost all of them has exclusive first period to re-negotiate, if they can't agree on terms then only they come to the market. Disney and ESPN haven't come to an agreement with F1 for renewal in USA, hence they are on the market. I dont think it will happen everywhere especially in Europe.
